When it comes to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/action">action thrillers</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pierce-brosnan">Pierce Brosna</a>n might know a thing or two about the genre. While he is definitely a versatile performer, one of the actor’s most famous and iconic roles was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-bond">James Bond</a>, who he portrayed in four movies.



However, at his 70 years, the renowned actor is still having fun with the crime genre. And one of his latest movies is trending on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/netflix">Netflix</a> in the United States. According to FlixPatrol, the film is the eighth most watched of this week.



It premiered back in 2021, and apart from Brosnan, it stars Rami Jaber, Hermione Corfield, Jamie Chung, Tim Roth, and Nick Cannon. Here is all you need to know about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/movies">movie</a>, which was directed by Renny Harlin, who is known for titles such as The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and more.



<h2>‘The Misfits,’ the trending film with Pierce Brosnan on Netflix</h2>



Titled ‘The Misfits’ and penned by Robert Henny and Kurt Wimmer, the film centers on a group self-identifying as “modern-day Robin Hoods,” who enlist the services of an international thief to aid in their quest to steal a trove of gold bars concealed beneath a prison.

Despite the strong names, the movie premiered to negative reviews, and it currently holds a 17% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was also nominated for three Razzies, which often celebrated the worst of movies, for Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Supporting Actor (Nick Cannon). Not even Brosnan was safe from the shipwreck, despite his undeniable talent.

The film was heavily criticized for its plot, storyline, two-dimensional characters, as well as its portrayal of Arabs and the Middle East, which Variety called ‘prehistoric’ and out of touch with today’s sensibilities, as it was caricatured. It didn’t help that it was seen as an ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ rip-off. On the other hand, it wasn’t a box office success either. It has grossings of barely $1.6 million against a budget of $15 million. 



<h2>Which other movies are trending in the US this week?</h2>
